Haven't featured SynthTronica in a while.

"http://apps4idevices.com/read/synthtronica.html

I forgot that Nick already post its Review...
So, here is a New Video of SynthTronica and my description...
Synthtronica was amongst the first synthesisers that I purchased on the App Store, and I must say that I never deleted it from my iPad. Why? Because I love it. Why? Because of the generated sound, because of the big Filter Pad which can be used with as many fingers as you have (for me, it's 10). Note that that I really love to use this Pad as a Percussion Pad (watch the second Video Demo). I also love the way you can shape your sound with Formants (you can record any sound within the App and you can backup all your Presets via iTunes File Sharing). Also that you can import Backing Tracks. A mini Mixer allows you to mix it with Live sound. Synthtronica is a Killer synthesiser, easy to use and with an original UI. I know that some of you will say that it hasn't been updated for a while (April 2011) but it will be updated! The developer is implementing the Virtual Midi feature and certainly more features... So, once again, Synthtronica is Killer analog synthesiser!!!"

Roland Juno 60 and Roland JD 800 in the Mix HQ Audio Demonstration

"Dieser Instrumental-Song wurde nur mit den beiden Synthesizern Roland Juno 60 und dem Roland JD 800 erstellt. Beide Syntesizer sind bekannt für deren fülligen und warmen Klangcharakter.
Immer wieder schön beim mischen ist, das überhaupt kein EQ notwendig ist. Die Roland Synthesizer fügen sich fast immer gut in einem Mix ein. Der Lead-Sound á la Moog und das durchlaufende Arpeggio stammen vom Juno 60, alle Strings aus dem JD 800. Die Drums wurden mit Battery eingespielt und die E-Gitarre ist live eingespielt. Effekte stammen teils aus dem Juno 60 und von einem ARP Axxe.

This song was made only with a Roland Juno 60 and a Roland JD 800. All strings are coming from the JD 800 and the moogish Leadsound and the arpeggio comes from the Juno 60. Other sounds like Drums and FX are from NI Battery. Some FX are generated with an ARP Axxe and the Juno 60. The guitar was recorded live."

"A few minutes listening to the amazing sound of the Roland SH-101. It has an internal sequencer, which can play only up to 100 notes, but it makes much fun. Listen to its rough and bright sound. I love that filter, which is a self-oscillating LPF. And still remember...it´s monophonic. The sound is really fat. Most Musicians use the Roland SH-101 for Basslines, but there is much more it can do."

Arturia SPARK Updated to Version 1.6.1

"Arturia’s SPARK software engine gathers steam to Version 1.6.1

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to release Version 1.6.1 of SPARK, the latest software update to its SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE Creative Drum Machine hybrid hardware/software beat production centres, on March 25...

Quite simply, SPARK Creative Drum Machine revolutionised hands-on beat-making by cleverly combining TAE® (True Analog Emulation) synthesis, sample playback (with multiple layering modes and post- processing), and physical modelling technologies with the intuitive workflow of a hardware drum machine upon its June 2011 launch; NAMM 2013 subsequently saw Arturia taking this concept to the masses by introducing SparkLE Creative Drum Machine, an all-new, ultra-portable package sharing the same SPARK software engine.

Now, thanks to Version 1.6.1 of that already super-smart SPARK software engine, Arturia has improved the functionality of both SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE Creative Drum Machine as follows.

Firstly, SparkLE Creative Drum Machine owners benefit from an added accent button in the GUI and an added latch mode for the instrument FX Pad, which, when activated, assigns the P1 and P2 knobs to the instrument parameters (Volume/Pan, Cutoff Resonance, Aux1/Aux2), while pressing any of the three XY Instrument buttons turns off latch mode (returning the P1 and P2 knobs to their previous assignations).

Joint benefits also abound for SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE Creative Drum Machine users, including improving the MIDI Clock output, together with several bug fixes.

So, thanks to those Version 1.6.1 improvements, the time has truly come to ignite rhythmic creativity with SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE Creative Drum Machine. Super-size beat-making with the original or add a little sparkle? The choice is out there!

The SPARK Version 1.6.1 update can be downloaded directly for free from here"

super mario spacetime organ (illucia & soundplane)

super mario spacetime organ (illucia & soundplane) from paperkettle on Vimeo.

From the man that brought us the illucia

"Interested in my work? http://chrisnovello.com or http://twitter.com/paperkettle

In this video, I directly manipulate the RAM state of Nintendo's Super Mario Brothers to transform it from a game into a strange instrument. I use two hardware controllers: illucia (a patchbay instrument I designed that lets me connect computer software with cables), and the Soundplane (an amazing multitouch surface by Madrona Labs).

I begin by playing the game as one normally would, just using buttons on illucia.. but I also have access to the game's memory, so I use the Y axis on the Soundplane to alter the value in the memory address that determines Mario's Y position onscreen. This is how I make Mario fly and hover during the playthrough.

Also, before I start playing, notice that I flip a switch on illucia. This triggers recording — not video, but actually recording the entire memory state of the NES for each game frame. Think about it - Mario's universe is held in RAM, which the NES uses to draw the game world for each frame. By saving the entire state of NES memory for every frame, I'm able to go back to any moment in Mario's life. Sort of like a Super Mario time machine.

So then I use the X-axis of the Soundplane to sweep through the timeline of Mario's universe.

Not only that, but the Soundplane is multitouch, so I use a second finger to specify start and endpoints in a playback loop. This is similar to the way samplers and granular synths work, but for recordings of the entire memory state of the NES rather than audio data. Conceptually, it is like Super Mario meets Groundhog Day. Mario's universe computer / time machine gets caught in hellish loops.

Then I use illucia to send alien data into Mario's universe, which makes for all sorts of audiovisual insanity amidst the spacetime loops. I found some memory addresses that produce interesting results, so I use illucia to pump them with unexpected data. This is sort of like circuit bending, but in a protected sandbox - at any point I can revert back to the clean recording of RAM states (aka moments in Mario's universe).

At that point I try to go back to "playing" the game, watching Mario navigate a melting world of glitched-out ephemera. Toward the end of the video I use a pair of rubberband mallets on the Soundplane to jump around in Mario's timeline, all while illucia is left pouring a heavy stream of alien data into Mario's RAM state. I eventually (accidentally/luckily) land at a place that triggers the game over music, and decide to end the take.

=====================

Disclaimer:

I don't condone piracy or the distribution of Nintendo's IP. I'm posting this video as part of a critical-cultural project. Further - although the emulator tools I used to make this performance are fully legal, I'm not distributing any other materials related to making these interventions into NES games, so please don't ask. The video is shown with the intention of stimulating critical thought about the role of software in our lives.

By showing that there are other ways one could interact with this well-known cultural artifact, hopefully I can inspire others to consider: Who decides how and what we see in a computer program? What is hidden? What sorts of strange other things lurk beneath the surface of our trained expectations?

What if we lived in a culture that deeply embraced the expressive possibilities of computer programs? What if we encouraged curiosity about the interior of the systems that compose game worlds? Is that curiosity and critical inquiry itself not a form of play?

Indeed there are platforms that embrace this sort of approach, but many don't. In fact, many close it off. What if we prioritized this sort of inquiry more? Might we find new frontiers for communication or even human knowledge and representation? What is a videogame, and how can it relate to all this?"
